having a hard time deciding on a new rear emblem
 

I want to replace the standard silver boxster s emblem on the rear decklid. I have decided on "roadster" or "986s" . But i haven't decided on flat black or gloss black. The emblems are about $25-$35 in flat black and whatever the price is for the "S" .
Painted it will cost 100 for the roadster and 150 for the 986s.

Has anyone seen gloss black on a car before. I did see a gloss black "boxster s" on one of the suppliers like pelican for $66


hmmmmm

oh yeah, my car is speed yellow.

Mine is not an S

Happy Boxstering,

Eric the Plug Guy says that a standard black S is not available. I'm considering gloss black Boxster S.

Eric does emblems to match the body color also. I'm looking for subtle.

I'll check Pelican too.

Run naked.

No badge is best. IMHO.

i got some prices from him. most likely that's where i'll get it plus the bumper plug and keyhole plug.

If you want the gloss black it is part # 98755903701 and its around $60-70

Neither. :D

I used to run without a badge, but then started to think it looked too bare, and as if the car had body work done to it, but didn't have time to put the factory badge back on. So now, I've got the PORSCHE badge from the Panamera on mine. I love the look.

decided on flat black roadster. i'll wait til a warm day and then get out the hairdryer.

I have a yellow S
 

I just put on a gloss black Boxster script and RED S.

Makes it pop!!

Them them both from suncoast for about 50 (incl shipping).

I like the Roadster emblem :cheers:

But if you want the Boxster S in black why don't you just buy the silver version from Suncoast and a rattle can and paint it yourself prior to installation?

The Roadster emblem is a nice touch, but you can't have your windows up whilst driving :D

From Wikipedia;

"A roadster, also known as a spyder or spider, is a two-seat car, traditionally without either a roof, side or rear windows"

Also time to get those bumper warts painted!

76turbo...any pics of your car with the script? My car is black with titanium lettering, but I've considered painting the S red. I may just try it with acrylic paint (washable) and see if it works for me. My friend's Cayman S (white) has the red emblem and it is striking, but I'm not sure it works with black.

it was either speedster or roadster. From what i was reading, the car is more roadster than speedster, but not sure.

I did think about spray painting the s to match, but was worried about paint running for some reason.

You would have had to chop the windshield if you put "Speedster" on the car...

Roadster looks good, I'm just giving you a hard time :dance:

:D ain't no thang but a chicken wing

Anyone have tips on buffing the outline away on the paint underneath if you just want to de-badge?

Scrub, scrub, scrub...with a soft terry cloth and some wd-40...then scrub some more. Re-apply wax when done. Takes some elbow grease. :)

Thanks! I'm gonna tear mine off when I get home it's pretty beat up

I hope you're only being figurative when you talk of tearing off your emblem. It'll be stuck on there pretty good, for one thing. You also don't want to have chunks of the tape stuck to the trunk lid if you do manage to pry it off, and worse still you don't want to end up warping the stupidly thin trunk lid from pulling at it.

Dental floss (and a good long time sitting out in the sun/blast with a hairdryer) works wonderfully and leaves you with a lot less to clean up afterward.

Bought mine with this on it.

Semi-gloss black .

Seems like my previous owner thought he was Superman...
just the bare "S" on my Boxsters ass.

Sometimes less is more, plus its good to be a little mysterious as people are asking and always want to know what it cost.

My reply "Exactly what you'd think a Porsche would cost, and after driving it, its worth every $k of that"

Damm those Boxsters are sexy looking cars!!!!!!

Oh, so that's what the "S" is for. :dance:

Nice @ss! :D

Wrong ! I already solved that question .

jb92563 Some guy tonight asked, I told him I won it. Just who do these people think are making the payments? I'm not mailing them to Seinfeld! You wouldn't walk up to a fresh boob job and go hey those are sweet, how much did they cost?

Mate......that looks "SENNA SATIONAL"

Well done.

Olin, don't feed the lion! ;)
(Or the three balled tomcat, in this case)

I didn't like the naked look after putting on my Zeintop. Bought the decal in attached pic on eBay for $2.81 including shipping.

I,m brand new to this great Forum, but have noticed the "three knackered tom" doesn't need too much motivation to fire up. I will be careful with my inspirational comments in future...just in case...

Do seriously love the back end of that Yellow Coxster though

Don't think that kit is available over here. Have to make some enquiries on it.

Where can i find decals other than "boxster"? Porsche only makes "boxster"

I'm pretty happy with what came with mine!

I added this to the spoiler today:

On the internet. ;)

I see your "B" is broken too....

Yea, but unless you know what you are looking for, it's hardly noticeable.^^^

Tramp Stamp in Chrome!
 

She sure has a sweet back end!

"I hate to see you go, but I LOVE to watch you leave."

You are right BruceH. I had to back up and take another look, didn't notice it first time.
I put a "PORSCHE" decal on my spoiler, in box letters, since it already has the Boxster emblem on trunk.

I figured with the spoiler up, it is blocking the view of the trunk, plus I just like the script writing of "Boxster S". I do like the look of "P O R S C H E" as well. It has a completely different look.

Six of one, half dozen of...

I love the original Boxster badge, don't think they are available from ebay though :rolleyes:

I took my script off when it was damaged during cleaning and replaced with a subtle decal
